We celebrate on, now-fixed, days
Circumstances
that amaze;
Today is Christmas
sweater day:
Bright jingle
bells and Santa’s sleigh!
See snowmen,
reindeer, festive fare
Presents,
gift-wrapped with great care,
Much red and
white and holly green
Perhaps a
star-lit winter scene …
In dubious
taste, or work of art?
On cold
evenings many start
To knit wool
jumpers with a will
Treasured, made with love and skill.
A mass-produced, kitsch shop-design
For a bad-taste
party is sublime;
Yet, when this champagne-joke wears thin
Will it end up
in the bin?
